Description:
This out-and-back hike follows Lowder Mountain Trail #3329 for 2.1 miles to an intersection with Walker Creek Trail #3330. We'll follow this rather faint trail along some switchbacks to a couple of large summit meadows, and then follow cairns to a lunch spot and viewpoint 750 feet above Karl and Ruth Lakes. There are good views all the way from Mt. Hood to Mt. Bachelor. At the end of the hike, there will be the option of taking a 1 mile out-and-back, 130 foot elevation loss trail to view the Quaking Aspen swamp, which has plenty of Corn Lilies but seemingly no Quaking Aspens. Without taking this option, the Lowder Mountain hike is 6 miles and 875 feet elevation gain.
Note to drivers: the last 9.2 miles is gravel with a few potholes in places, but is navigable in a regular car. It can also be dusty.
